Insight Before The Prophetic Word:
Regardless of who you vote or do not vote for on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012, God will still be God. (Levi-ticus 26:13)
Regardless of who your favorite candidate may or may not be, the man sitting next to you in your prayer group, ministry meeting, Sunday service or who may be standing next to you in the grocery store line will still be your brother or sister in Christ or is being drawn into the Kingdom by God. (Ma-tth-ew 12:46-50)
Regardless of your commitment to your race, political party affiliation, radical or non-radical beliefs or your steady outspokenness as the days approaching the election increase, the love of the Lord Our God and His command to love one another will still prevail. (1 Cor-inthi-ans 13; Ma-tth-ew 22:36-40)
People of God, no matter the country we wake up to on that “not promised” Wednesday morning – there will STILL only be one thing that is constant in our faith and that brings singing and shouting in heaven:
Luke 15:7 CJB says, “I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who turns to God from his sins than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need to repent.”
My question to the people of God today is not and will never be: Will you vote?
My question to the people of God today is not and never will never be: Who will you vote for?
The question we must ask each other DAILY, and especially during election time when flesh and emotions run high, is this: “Father, what is it that you value in me and among the souls I encounter?” (1 Corinthians 15)
When each one of us GET THIS ANSWER from Him, then we will be able to rightfully divide the Word of Truth. We will be able to discern, for ourselves, what God values verses what we see with the natural man. We will be reminded of the prophecies foretold long before Heaven kissed earth with Christ’s physical life, and move accordingly. We will learn the intrinsic value of the greatest APOSTOLIC PRAYER given to the Sons of God: Matthew 6:9-13 and we will rise, spirit-led, from that foundational place of intercession.
Word of the Lord
As I entered my devotional time this morning, Father released the Word of the Lord through me: “In this hour beloved, what is truly in the recesses of the heart is being revealed. Many have taken the legislation of this world and forsaken the legislation of the spirit. They have embraced a segregated and factioned belief system and forsaken the unity of love that I created.
I am still the law-giver, says the Lord God. I am the ultimate legislator. Place your trust in me, not man. Draw to one another in love, and follow not the path of division – for we are one.”
I entered intercession through worship this morning, as I do at the beginning of each day – sometimes with my pen and other times on my knees. In the realm of the Spirit, I saw many among the congregation of the Lord at war. However, their fight was not against “the” rulers and authorities in the unseen world, the powers of darkness or even spiritual wickedness in high places. Instead, people of God, they were fighting FLESH & BLOOD. They were fighting PEOPLE, even undermining and beheading BRETHREN & NON-BRETHREN ALIKE. I even heard name-calling in the realm of the spirit from believers (some leading flocks) and saw lips and tongues furiously releasing death into the earth realm. Their speech toward the candidates, news media, FELLOW BRETHREN, etc. was atrocious… and it GRIEVES FATHER! My spirit man experienced the devastation as I prayed. Father showed me a bloody battle, an in-fighting. It was literally like the Hatfields and the McCoys in the realm of the Spirit! People of God, I pray that you have an ear to hear.
Some people were ENDING God-ordained relationships because of political party affiliation and policy agreements. Yet, those who were believers had never in their lives taken a stand such as that for God. (Father showed me this!)
In this vision, people of God were giving every last penny they could spare at the end stretch of “their favorite candidates” campaign, but the true house of God – the labor for His will to be done on earth as in Heaven – was forsaken!
I even saw people hosting party after party to promote and uphold their FAVORITE CANDIDATE, and I saw tears drip from the eyes of Father that HIS CAUSE and CALL TO LOVE was not being met with this same excitement and zeal. People of God, this isn’t judgment but discernment. This is a call to repentance and turning to righteousness so that we may prepare the way for Our Lord.
Finally, Father said to me, “Beloved, behold the God of my people!” In the spirit, I followed His right hand as He pointed to the earth realm and its ways. For many in this hour, this election, the presidency, their opinions, etc. – this is their god.” End of Vision
Father is calling us to repent of our idols. Allow Holy Spirit access to your souls in the areas where idols have made a home. The Spirit is well able to lead your soul into full repentance and truth. He is here to show each one of us what is good and acceptable to Father. The cry in this hour is not to condemn, but to convict and bring the congregation into the reality of Father, the reality of the Son and Holy Spirit. Immersion, in this hour, is and always will be our only answer.
Further Prophetic Insight
Listen, you might not believe a WORD that I am being commanded to write today. You may not think that anything penned to this paper this morning is relevant because it’s not coming from your favorite Christian rock-star. (Many stand in this place.) But I tell you, this is not ABOUT Theresa’s vote. This is not about your neighbor’s vote. It may seem like it in the NATURAL, but the impact is far greater than this when viewing Father’s House. It is about Father’s heart for you and His heart for His people.
Whatever we do in the earth realm must be with the Father’s heart-motives! It must be with His desire to see men come to know Him as TRUTH… as LOVE. Father’s love does not and never will come at the expense of KILLING one another.
Whether my HUSBAND votes for President Barak Obama or Mitt Romney, I will love Him with all that Father has given me. It will not become a foothold for DIVISION in my marriage. Whether my personal intercessor votes for President Barak Obama or Mitt Romney, I will love that person because of who God says they are – not because of a vote! Whether my neighbor decides NOT TO VOTE or TO VOTE and makes it vocal all over the neighborhood, I will walk with who walks with my Father. The point here is simple: These things should not decide relationship or lack of relationship among us. This is not how Father determines sin or righteousness.
This is part of what Father is saying in this hour. You see, REGARDLESS of what we might think, the truth remains that: “The Lord IS GOD and there is no other. HE IS, ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND WILL BE THE ONLY ONE IN CONTROL! Our Father who is in Heaven HAS ALREADY had the last say. Our posture? Remain reconciled.” My brethren, when we GET THIS our entire approach to and our aeriel view of legislation will shift. We won’t see “MEN” in control, but God at work. The people of Israel THOUGHT Pharoah was in control, but He wasn’t! Later, they thought satan was in control when Christ was crucified but HE WASN’T. So, why are WE fighting one another? Why are we WILLINGLY giving wickedness a foothold?
It is my prayer today that the Spirit of the Lord is heard in this blog. In truth, what is written here is not about our president but our PRECIOUS relationship with one another in this hour. My relationship with those brethren I have come to know and love AND WHO I WANT to come to know and love IS PRECIOUS TO GOD, and PRECIOUS TO ME. WE NEED ONE ANOTHER in this VERY HOUR more than ever.
We do not need UNFOCUSED religous groups or this world system CLOGGING OUR EARS to the WORK OF GOD in the midst of this election. Our pursuit must be to hear Father and obey Him.
Every division is an opportunity for the adversary to undermine the work of the Church in this nation. It is to keep us so focused on the flesh that WE, WE, WE fail to unite and rise in godly understanding, wisdom, authority and power.
Romans 16:16-20 CJB says, “Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the Messiah’s congregations send their greetings to you. I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put snares alongside the teaching in which you have been trained – keep away from them. For men like these are not serving our Lord the Messiah but their own belly; by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the innocent. For everyone has heard about your obedience; therefore I rejoice over you. However, I want you to be wise concerning good, but innocent concerning evil. And God, the source of shalom, will soon crush the Adversary under your feet. The grace of our Lord Yeshua be with you.”
Proverbs 19:20-22 CJB says, “Listen to advice, and accept discipline, so that in the end you will be wise. One can devise many plans in one’s mind, but ADONAI’s plan will prevail. A man’s lust is his shame, and a poor man is better than a liar.”
Please read Isaiah 44 and 45. Let us stand with God toward one another. We are in the midst of a WONDROUS OPPORTUNITY FOR TRUE HEALING & RECONCILIATION! So many hidden things are being brought to the surface. We are challenged in this hour to see beyond what is naturally seen…. and it begins with US – not every one else.
2 Corinthians 5:16, “So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.”
